D5248-04 – Standard Test Method Technical Guide
📐 Understanding the Scope and Classification of ASTM D5248
ASTM D5248-04 (Reapproved 2020) provides a standardized specification for reclaimed 1,1,2-trichloro 1,2,2-trifluoroethane, commonly known as CFC-113. It serves as a critical reference document for purchasers and those establishing in-house solvent recovery programs, defining the quality benchmarks for three distinct grades of this important halogenated solvent.
💡 Note: This standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. It specifically addresses reclaimed material to ensure safety and consistency in reuse.
📊 Classification of Reclaimed CFC-113 Grades
Section 3 of the standard classifies the solvent into three distinct types based on their target application. The property limits governing each grade are strictly defined in Tables 1 through 3, covering critical parameters such as total acid number,
